Ascending Butterfly Holiday Buying Guide Editor's Pick sponsored by:

Stuff her stocking with the best blow-out she's ever had! Don't you just love that fresh from the salon blowout? It's totally perfect, not so straight it looks dead, and not so curly, not even wavy, but that bouncy, healthy, shiny, perfect blowout that your hairdresser leads you to beleive can only come from the pricey salon visit?

Do you hate frizz and fight with your hair to make it straight? Do you only like it 'poker' straight and so after blow drying still use a flat iron?

The high heat it takes to flat iron your hair is damaging. The damage occurs over time. And before you tell me you use the best heat serum protectant flat iron cream on the market, I can tell you, that high heat is STILL causing damage to your hair.

Hairfreé™, is a viable alternative to the killer blowdry and then flat/curling iron combo! Do you want to continue damaging and burning your hair by using a flat/curling iron or would you like the same shiny, sleek, healthy looking hair with half the effort? I thought so!

Hairfreé™ comes with a 100% money back guarantee! If within 30 days of purchase you are not completely satisfied with the performance of hairfreé™ simply return it for your money back. No questions asked. A super effective product with a company that stands behind what they sell, isn't that awesome?

I have had the opportunity to try out both brushes now and I absolutely love them. I have very problematic hair to work with, it's fine, it's thin but there is alot of it, and it's very frizz prone. My hair, like me, has a mind of it's own. Some days it's a very stubborn mind. I will admit that I always had to do the killer blowdry followed by flat iron combo to get the results I wanted. Until Now. I get an amazing blow-out at home using these brushes. Which means I can visit the salon less frequently just for blowouts, and go mostly when I need to trim my ends or if I want to change my cut/style completely. Remember, for any blow-out to be truly effective you must apply the proper techniques to achieve the sleek results you desire!

Check out these Before and After Photos! (This a model, this is NOT me!)

Tips for a great blow-out:

Your hair only begins to take on its final shape when almost dry. Towel dry your hair before you begin.

Take the effort out of blow drying by using clips. Pin the top layers out of the way and begin with the underneath sections (e.g. the nape hair).

Fully dry each section before moving to the next to prevent it reverting to its natural state.

Aim the airflow from your dryer along the hair in the direction of the ends to get a smooth finish.

Allow hair to cool before removing your brush from a blow-dried section of hair. This will make your blow-dry last longer as it is like using tongs or setting rollers. Leave the hair as it falls from the brush, only running your fingers or brush through it when all the hair is finished and cooled off.

Finish off with an oil or gloss to prevent frizz and add shine.

And of course, a great blow-out is achieved with a great brush, this is where Hairfreé™ comes in. The Ceramic technology in the brushes allow you to achieve the sleek, straight hair you desire and the venting cuts down on drying time.

google followermy daughter would love these brushes! She is 'blessed' with naturally very curly hair... and absolutely hates it! *sigh* (just the memory of all the perms I've had in my life to get close to the fullness her hair always has... I can't convince her that anyone would love to have her hair) win [at] tawnda [dot] com

1) I am a follower 2) My biggest hair woe... well 2.5 years ago I learned that I had RA and went on Methotrexate (a chemo drug used to treat RA in low doses) and my hair thinned. Then it grew back curly. Prior to this, pole straight fine glossy hair, now I have a curly thick head of hair and i have NO clue what to do with it!! Who at 40 suddenly wakes up to find out that they don't even look like them selves anymore?? haha, anyway, now I get to have frizz and all the other curly woes! And no clue how to deal!

My biggest hair woe is the huge cowlick on the side of my forehead. I had to get rid of my bangs because of it. My daughter on the other hand has very curly hair that gets really tangled and frizzy.lisalmg25 at gmail dot com
